In a briefing on the state's response to the crisis, the governor announced that 846 residents have died from the coronavirus, up 200 from Friday. Murphy also said there were 4,331 new cases in the state, bringing the total above 34,000.The most starkly affected counties continue to be those in the northeast corner of the state, including Bergen, Essex and Hudson, all with more than 400 cases each as of Saturday.that showed the rate at which cases are doubling in each county.

Judith M. Persichilli, the commissioner of the state's Department of Health, said officials are in the process of preparing field hospitals across New Jersey. These include hospitals in Secaucus, Edison and Atlantic City. The Secaucus facility is slated to open Monday. Murphy also announced that New Jersey would be a beneficiary of personal protective equipment confiscated by the FBI from an alleged hoarding ring in Brooklyn. The new supplies will include 70,000 N95 masks and 5,000 pairs of gloves for health care and other essential workers.

At the briefing, New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Rob Asaro-Angelo addressed the frustration of residents unable to file unemployment claims because of backups on the department's phone lines and website. He said the department received a 1600% increase in unemployment claims. The agency is doing the best it can with its 40 year-old mainframe computer systems, Asaro-Angelo said, and is working overtime to meet the needs of unemployed residents.

They should not be using the September 11th attacks as a reference point. It's not relevant. Nothing else is ever compared to them.

We must also watch closely how Republican Donors are going to try their darnedest to get that 500-billion, and 350-billion which is already law. Russia/Trump will also now be using this calamity to cause much chaos in the coming elections.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT GOOD IN A CRISIS, THEY ONLY GOOD AT GETTING THEIR NAILS DONE....

How can I follow the bbc reporters on the segment 5:39 am EST. Flora? I would like to hear more

Are you suggesting that China committed a TERRORIST attack by deliberately sending infected people here? If not, then why make the comparison?

Fear monger harder.

What does 9/11 have to do with the Corona virus? 9/11 was a pre planned Islamic terrorist attack, Corona is an outbreak of a pandemic hidden from the rest of the world by the Chinese dictatorship. Two completely different things.

😢

I don't understand comparing this virus to the 9/11 attacks. perspective is important but it is obvious that this virus was going to kill way more people than 19 fundamentalist zealots did.

That’s a weird, and ridiculous, comparison.

How can the 2 even be compared to each other

Everyone watch DirtyMoney Episode 6 on Netflix. Now. Also season 2, the Jarod Kushner episode. Now.

And?

Is this really that shocking? New Jersey is a pretty big state even tho there’s a decent amount of population that work in Manhattan. But then separate the NJ people in Manhattan to those just in or around 2 buildings. On one day. At a very specific time....

Message from the one who predicted coronavirus. Dr. Anthony R. Fehr, Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Kansas. He was one of about a hundred people in the country studying the coronavirus full-time.

You guys are so stupid, people are dying right and left, you are trying to draw people’s attention to different things. Just focus on the issue stupid NPR

It’s a virus that originated from China

So what ? Two different events. No comparison. EricTrump DonaldJTrumpJr Please de-fund NPR.

Yah. We will DEFINITELY need a stay at home order til folks learn to EAT RIGHT based on the epidemic of preventable DIETARY inputs.

It seems like the mitigation would’ve been easier if we could have started closing down and medicating in January when he first became aware instead of March

Live in New Jersey or die with the Coronavirus was an easy decision for those lucky 100.

New Jersey governor calls for 'postmortem' of federal response to coronavirus'All of us have to do one of the biggest postmortems when the dust settles... We've got to figure out how the heck we got in this spot and make sure we never get in this spot ever again,' New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says about the coronavirus pandemic. This guy dropped the ball, that's why we are royally screwed The Government did all this once before, after the H1N1 pandemic. A new office in government was created. Trump killed that office in 2018...so here we go again with another post-mortem attempt and fixing something that Trump shouldn't have broken in the first place. Murphy has fallen down on the job and elections are in November so he is playing politics. I listen to NJ radio in the mornings and I am just appalled at how incompetent this guy is. NJ needs to vote him out! Elmer Fudd would be a better Governor!
